I will start by saying how much I like pupusas. My first entry into Pupuseria Metapan was on a whim. So many restaurants are nearby there that have similar menus, but varying prices. I ordered (en Espanol) two different types. I got to practice speaking Spanish. The server spoke very limited English. No big deal or major challenge. My two choices were yummy and affordable. Both costing less than $5. First choice was Revuelta, has beans, fried pork, and cheese inside. Freshly made and piping hot. Second choice was made with Maiz Morado/purple corn. With cheese and zucchini inside. They were large too. Quite filling. I enjoy the tasty pickled slaw and bag of hot sauce that accompany each order. Next time I will try their fried plantains. Another dish I adore.

First time eating at a pupuseria & this restaurant did not disappoint... Their servings come in great portions & it comes out fresh to eat... We came 30 mins before closing & the they were super nice to still serve is without making us feel rushed with our food. The ambiance inside is pretty cute & simple... perfect ambiance for the type of food they sell! I'd actually be willing to come back next time!

Started coming here years ago because the pupusas weren't greasy and had great flavor. Honestly don't know what happened but the past two times have just been blah... I open the boxes to find the cheese has completely leaked out while cooking and is now a crispy piece on the side leaving barely any cheese still inside the pupusa. The curtido has absolutely no flavor but still adds a nice crunch. So disappointed in whatever change was made recently. Doesn't help that the waitresses inside aren't the nicest even when you're just picking up your order.

I been there few times, first time I went the pupusas good flavor good shape but last time so disappointed! Soy de El Salvador y nunca en mi vida me había comido una pupusa tan gruesa y con la orilla casi cruda! Extremadamente grande y gruesa estás no sin pupusas auténticas si siguen de ese tamaño! The service the lady no friendly at all! The ambiance pretty common like other salvadoreño restaurant.

Food was okay, mediocre. Parking sucks. The service is what was disappointing. The waitress acted like she didn't understand anything. We spoke to her in both English and Spanish and she seemed confused with both. I ordered a pupusa for my daughter and said it was for her, and two for myself but when the food came out, there were 3 pupusas on one plate and placed right in front of me. I asked for another plate and then asked which pupusas were which so I knew which one to give my daughter. The waitress didn't know and had to take the whole plate back to the kitchen to find out. This place was disappointing.

I don't ever do reviews but this one for sure needs one because it's a disappointment to go to a restaurant where the food is good but the service it's horrible. The waitress with tattoos is an embarrassment for that business. She does not know how to welcome customers nor take orders . She doesn't communicate whatsoever and just walks away. When she brings the food out and you tell her it's the wrong thing she turns around rolling her eyes taking a deep breath like if it's our fault she didn't either understand or cared. I will no longer come here because of her. Invest your money and time into a place you're going to feel comfortable and welcoming.
